the hillary clinton interview clip where she says operation mincemeat is her current favourite musical haunts me. what could she possibly be getting out of it. why does she call it "mincemeat" like she is me and my gay tumblr mutuals posting about it on the internet. what cast did she see. did she witness whoever was playing monty put her feet on the desk and think wow thats really hot. did acquiring a body through questionable means and then using it without anyones consent remind her of her war criminal days. like i just have some follow up questions that nobody else seems to be asking rn

everyone i see talking about flowery deltarune keeps being like "i hate this guy but i'm sure tumblr loves him" but honestly? looking at his design and characterization, i don't think we're supposed to be going crazy over him. he's far too obviously an overdone anime twink sexyman, he's so over-the-top that i think we're supposed to hate him. he's what tumblr would've done with flowey back in the era when we were turning bill cipher into a skinny white twink (if not for the whole actually being asriel thing). but these days, the deltarune fandom is much more into characters that are at least kind of freaks (see: tenna and spamton). flowery meanwhile is a conventionally attractive anime boy with a slick and smooth demeanor. flowery is so aggressively appealing that he wraps back around to being obnoxious. and i think that's rather the point.

entering schmigadoon would kinda be like entering a dark world, wouldn't it. but instead of household objects it's characters in musicals.

The Theme Enjoying part of my brain: Jax has abstracted, and she'll never be brought back. And it hurts. It hurts that she never got to accept her transness and become better. It hurts that she died wondering. This was a completely preventable tragedy. She could've been saved if she'd made a single different decision. And that's the point. The point is that this didn't need to happen. If she had acknowledged herself as a person with depth, as a real human being who needs other human beings, as a trans woman, she would've lived. But she didn't. She didn't accept herself, she didn't reach out to others, she kept on performing, and it killed her. At least, in the circus. But the real version of her is out there, with longer hair and a chance to become who she needs to be. It's two diverging paths- one world where she accepts herself and lives, one where she doesn't and she dies. And even in the world where she's abstracted, she's still there, kept in the blanket fort to not overstimulate her, painted on the wall in memory of all who abstracted. She's cared for despite all she's done, because this shouldn't have happened. Her abstraction was completely preventable. She should have gotten to change, and she didn't. And it hurts. But it reflects a real reality of so many people who don't accept themselves and die. It's a beautiful, heartbreaking piece of trans tragedy. And Jax's story is going to help so many people feel seen, and help so many people to not die wondering. I wish her story had a happy ending. I'm glad that this story exists.

The coping part of my brain: SHE CAN BE BROUGHT BACK. THERE IS STILL TIME. ABSTRACTION CAN BE REVERSIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE. ISN'T SHE LOVELY IS ABOUT THE BIRTH OF A DAUGHTER SO THEY CAN GET HER BACK AND SHE CAN BE REBORN AS A GIRL. THERE IS STILL TIME. THERE IS STILL TIME. 99% OF GRIEVERS GIVE UP DENIAL AND BARGAINING RIGHT BEFORE IT BRINGS THE DEAD PERSON BACK

a mashup album inspired by and featuring voice-acted excerpts from David Bowie's musical 'Lazarus,' refracted through the lens of my own music taste. i know it doesn't have any Bowie songs but trust me, that's intentional. this story has resonated with me ever since i first found about the show in 2020, and i'm so proud that i get to share it with the internet.
